While I'm on that point the T is way too high and not connected to the play. He can't help the C from way out there and that is the secondary failure here. Put him down around the 28-foot line and he will be far more comfortable whistling the contact just inside the FT lane.

PS Finally a fight video of an actual fight! That was a true melee.

Look at the C's head he is not even looking at his primary when the first two potential fouls happen, he is staring at the throw in spot.

He is never really looking at those players. That's why I am not convinced he is even calling a foul. Pretty sure he is calling something to do with the clock.

Also...watch the C during the fight. He grabs onto one player and holds him almost the entire time. Not a smart move there, either.

That's what I thought. He appears to be watching the throw-in as it is happening, then casually strolls across the court with an open hand.
